Music Worth Noting

So much great music and live performances fill the Internet, it is almost hard to keep track of it all. From the sounds of hip-hop to to the strings of a violin, this is what we have been listening to this week. Enjoy these wonderful sound and share with us what you’re listening to!

“Glory” by Common and John Legend

This Academy Award-nominated song is a great fusion of sounds coupled with moving lyrics. It feels like a gospel but has added layers of hip-hop with the rich sound of violins. Listen closely to the lyrics such as, No one can win the war individually / It take the wisdom of the elders and young people’s energy, you might just be moved to tears.

Music Lessons by James Taylor

As if we needed another reason to love James Taylor! The legendary singer-songwriter can sell out concerts and drive top dollar for one-on-one instruction. Yet, Taylor chose to reach to the masses via YouTube. He created a series that provides guitar instruction and tips to his most loved songs.

Recital by Itzhak Perlman

Perhaps no other violinist alive is as revered as much as Itzhak Perlman. He’ll make a special appearance next week at the Wall Disney Concert Hall, playing sonatas from Beethoven, Ravel and Greig.
